Avoiding pitfalls

AMID the country’s turbulent political landscape, the PML(N) has upped the ante by refusing to send its ministers back to the Federal Cabinet. The party’s chief Mian Nawaz Sharif, in a joint press communiqué on the President’s impeachment earlier with PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, affirmed that he would send back four ministers as a goodwill gesture. But the possibility did not materialize and barring the fist meeting the ex-ministers did not show up on other occasions and likewise did not take charge. The PML(N)’s argument in defense of this latest move however holds little water. This time around, the party is saying that it would only reclaim the vacant slots once the impeachment resolution is tabled.
